Shepparton Villages is calling for volunteers
Volunteers have a profound impact on the lives of those they generously give their time to. Especially in aged care when residents should be enjoying their golden years, sometimes they can feel like the forgotten generation.
The 3 facilities at Shepparton Villages are putting a call out to the community for anyone with an hour or two a week to come and enrich the lives of their residents with the gift of your time.
There are many ways to give your time at SRV, with one-on-one time with residents to share past experiences and listen to their stories, reading to them from the paper, or if you are craft-minded, you can knit with residents. There are group activities to be part of as well. Running bingo games, being part of walking groups or helping to facilitate day trips, which the residents love so much.
A simple National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) check and attending an interview is all you need to get involved in giving meaning and dignity to the lives of people in their twilight years. No matter your walk of life, gender or experience, if you are interested in volunteering, contact the People & Culture Team at (03) 5832 0800, or visit sheppartonvillages.com.au.
